Vassiliea Stylianidou
Fugitive Voices Always From Scratch – QUEST WITH TEMPORARY VALUE
berlinerpool invites Vassiliea Stylianidou, a Greek artist based in Berlin, to present her newest projects, which implement a method of personal archiving and collecting through collaboration with artists, curators and theoreticians. For Vassiliea Stylianidou the artistic process involves a constant renegotiation of public and private history as well as public and private spaces. Stylianidou´s work deals with the limits inherent in systems of order and discipline such as architecture, nature, family, power, language and collectivity.
http://www.stylianidou.com/
During her presentation Vassiliea Stylianidou will introduce her three recent projects:
FROM SCRATCH_a collective text_always from scratch, STUDIOvisits and HOLIDAYS IN GREECE.
After the presentation, a discussion with the audience will be opened up around the notions of collectivity, temporality and emergency. Possibilities of collaborations among cultural workers in Berlin and in Greece will also be explored. Greek participants of the projects FROM SCRATCH and HOLIDAYS IN GREECE will be present.
FROM SCRATCH_a collective text_always from scratch is a collaborative project initiated by Vassiliea Stylianidou. An initial text consisting of beginnings of scenarios for collectivity written by Vassiliea Stylianidou have been distributed by email to nine artists and theoreticians with the invitation to continue from whatever point in the text interests them, free to use any style they wish. When their individual contributions to the text are completed, they are invited to send all the texts to three people of their choice, inviting them to participate in the project on the basis of the above instructions.

STUDIOvisits means STUDIO(to the power of)visits, the artist´s studio –both physical and conceptual- that visits… STUDIOvisits is a project of encounters taken in random intervals between artists, theorists, architects and the public. STUDIOvisits´ vehicles are concepts, texts, objects, ideas and processes moving/migrating/translating around in reciprocal directions. STUDIOvisits´ itineraries are translocal. STUDIOvisits' desire is to transfer, postpone and prolong the processes of reflection upon concepts and objects that surround and construct the so-called artwork. STUDIOvisits is a thought- and praxis-based artistic enterprise that aims to overcome the reduction of the artwork to a mere commodity that follows the laws of the (art) market.
HOLIDAYS IN GREECE
The frame of HOLIDAYS IN GREECE is two-folded:
_ an installation was set up with works that create multiple narrations; a network of associations and interconnections
_within the installation, artists, theorists, poets and the general public are invited to send and/or perform a statement: an extended notion of a performative text that is related to the greek/european debt crisis.
HOLIDAYS IN GREECE´s starting point is the wish to understand what we cannot so far understand. HOLIDAYS IN GREECE builds up a stage for multiple voices to be heard, so that impossible liaisons, associations and alliances may be discovered or created, within the condition of the current debt crisis.
HOLIDAYS IN GREECE explores the meaning of a possible symbolic profit of the debt.
HOLIDAYS IN GREECE_a performative installation conceived and realised by STUDIOvisits with the support of LoandBehold.

Orton Akinci
The Digitiples: A Model for the Political Use of Information Technologies in Contemporary Art
Thursday, 22nd November 2012 - 7:00 pm
Apartment Project Berlin
Hertzbergstr. 13, 12055 Berlin
berlinerpool has a pleasure to introduce Orton Akıncı as a guest lecturer to share with the audience his concept of the Digitiples.
An artwork which is suitable for being represented in a digital format, as information, can be identically duplicated in unlimited numbers and shared on P2P networks on the Internet by the artist without the intermediation of the culture industry. If this work of art is also suitable for being experienced independent of space and time and without the help of any particular
sophisticated apparatus, it can communicate the ideas of the artist to everyone who has basic tools for and knowledge of using the Internet.
This study suggests and introduces the concept of “digitiple” as a model for the construction and distribution of such an artwork as a “digital multiple” to be shared on P2P networks as a copyleft “digital gift”. “Digitiple” is just one example of many potential political uses of information technologies in contemporary art.
Orton AKINCI is an academic from YTU Istanbul, holding a PhD in Art and Design and works on free culture and the politics of information technologies for the possibility of another world.

José Carlos Teixeira
berlinerpool guest lecture with José Carlos Teixeira
Artist talk + video screening
Thursday, 26th July 2012 – 7:30 pm
At João Cocteau – multidisciplinary art space
KienitzerStrasse 98, 12049 Berlin
berlinerpool has a pleasure to introduce José Carlos Teixeira as a guest lecturer to share his views on archive and archiving theories and practices in his approach to art making. Teixeira will comment on his work while screening fragments of recent video pieces. In this talk, he will also address the concepts and themes related to his last solo publication/artist book, IN BETWEEN, the result of a 1-year residency at the Akademie Schloss Solitude, in Stuttgart.
José Carlos Teixeira is an artist and filmmaker whose work primarily involves video-essay, photography, and installation. In his work, frontiers between reality and fiction, video art and documentary, are often purposely left open and undefined. He explores and expands on notions of identity, otherness, language, boundary, exile and displacement. Using strategies of group performance, his pieces address specific issues related to locational identity (or identity as an ongoing process of transformation), global diaspora, and the limits (or overlapping) of personal, social, and geographical territories. They attempt to generate not a set of conclusions, but a continuous process of questioning. Teixeira focuses on participation, collaboration and dialogue, therefore incorporating multiple voices and subjects into his audiovisual projects.

The Book
------------
IN BETWEEN integrates two main projects: Between Clarity & Fog, and Being Other (a new community). This publication contains contributions and essays by Jean-Baptiste Joly (AkademieSchloss Solitude director), Carolina Rito (curator, professor, PhD candidate), and Lillian Fellmann (curator, art critic, researcher), and it was visually developed by the graphic designer Patrícia Cativo (professor, PhD candidate). It also sheds some light on the seminal book Where the World Ended: Re-Unification and Identity in the German Borderland, by the late anthropologist Daphne Berdahl (1964-2007).
The Videos
--------------
THE FALL – o exercício da queda is a video-installation which stems from a highly personal premise and is based on a participatory and collaborative event. Starting from the definition of "fall", which in the English semantics adopts several meanings and interpretations, the piece advances into an investigation both visual and theoretical. Considering the literal and performative potential of such a concept, but also the symbolic and metaphoric dimensions associated with it, a wide range of participants were invited to interact with the artist in a scenic space (a theatre stage). The final outcome is a quiet and intimate yet powerful video-essay that incorporates words and gestures as consequences of one single request: to fall.
Between Clarity & Fog relies on the idea of hidden/internal border as main operative concept. By mapping a poetic and personal journey into a larger social and geo-political context, it addresses issues of cultural identity, and intends to look for the nowadays invisible but, perhaps, lingering psychological lines of frontier between the West and the former East. After the decay of the so-called Grand Narratives – and having Europe come together under the symbol of the German reunification – what has happened? Is the former socio-political dialectics East/West still relevant in the minds and lives of people? Teixeira is mostly interested in a hybrid language by pursuing subjective, artistic, and anthropological framings of reality.
Being Other (a new community) is a video originated from a temporary community led by the artist at the Kaunas Biennial ‘09 – Live Examination. How could people together develop a reflection on identity and otherness, having the city and its memory as departure points? In the resulting piece, a group of Lithuanian participants expresses feelings of belonging and/or displacement, through a journey that took them to an abandoned hotel from Soviet times. An architect talks about the construction of that building, social-political impact, and unknown future. Juxtaposing the history and the strangeness of such unfinished architecture with the human body, one opens up the possibility of several metaphors, including the realization that in such neglected places we may unveil more intimate and psychological aspects of ourselves.
